Song Lyrics
[edit]Science Fiction (2017)
[edit]- Something's stirring in a deep Atlantic trench
Doesn't forget the thousand years before it slept
It's the beast, it's my heart, it's open
Dive down into it till you hear a tick- Lit Me Up
- I want to tell you we're alright
Want to erase all your doubt
I've got this thorn dug in deeply
Sometimes I can't get it out- Can't Get It Out
- I'm hoping that in time, you can lay down
All this weight you've been carrying around and maybe one day
You'll find your way
To climb on up out of your grave
With the bits of you you managed to save- Waste
- Do you know the words that make the hidden door open?
Can you speak my secret name and fix me?
I have no heart, I have no brain
Lord I have no courage
Can you get me home again?- Could Never Be Heaven
- Well I guess nothing can be perfect, so here's a comforting thought
At the bottom of the ocean fish won't judge you by your faults- Same Logic/Teeth
- Let's all go play Nagasaki
What a lovely way to die
A final show and we all go
So no one has to say goodbye- 137
- Hell is digital
You'll pray to pieces- Out of Mana
- In the water, they saw the face
Of the man who once owned it, ashamed and disgraced
In the water, they asked them both
"How did you get the gold without digging any holes?"- In the Water
- If I believe only half what I read
I got a reason to be dug in deep- Desert
- For the good
Of all men
Hold me down
Underwater and don't let me up again- No Control
- A million suns won't fill you up
If you can't see the wine flowing over your cup- 451
- In the valley of your slowly-fading memory
Are there pastures bathed in some uncertain light where you won’t graze?
Paths you won't take?- Batter Up
- Where's all my hope and my marriage license?
- Vices
- The champ goes down like a clown in the second round
I wish we'd had a better goodbye- Bed
- I stole bricks from the dam almost every day
Now I'm drowning in the flood I made
Explain myself to me on the other side
I'm gonna want some answers when I die- At The Bottom
- When the army had to hold the line
Well you were nowhere near the front
Before the kids could tell the dog "goodbye"
Well, you were loading up your gun
I wanna know I've left the great divide
I wanna know what I've become
You think that no one else is lonesome
You think that you're the only one?- Gasoline
- Well I wish that I was as good as you
Caring and trusting
And I wish that my condition was new
But I'm old and rusting- You Stole
- How darkly the dark hand met his end
He was withered and bony; exposed for a phony
But we heed the last words that he penned
Haste to disgrace the traitor, do not wait till later- Sink
- Where are all the seedlings we grew for violins?
Down in Jersey lumber, still in prosthetic limbs
Should've been a soldier, I could've fought and died
There's no revolution, so I bought a bride- Bought a Bride
- Well if we take all these things
And we bury them fast
And we pray that they turn into seeds
To roots and then grass
It'd be all right, it's all right
It'd be easier that way
Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
Like He knew it was time to start things over again
It'd be all right, it's all right
It'd be easier that way- Daisy
- Holding out for rest but on the seventh day
I've created nothing and I'm wide awake- In a Jar
- Why doesn't anyone I know sleep?
Are they all just scared of their dreams?
When they lay their heads down at night
What are they haunted by?- Noro
- Space cadet, pull out
Space cadet
Pull
Out- Welcome to Bangkok
- Be my serene
Tell me you know what I mean
You've set on me
But you are not the sun- Not the Sun
- When I disappear, do you fear for the sister I took?
When I disappear, it is clear I am up to no good
I am drearily bloodletting this bedwetting cosmonaut
"Son, the last thing you'll realize you need is what you've already got."- Luca
- Who do you carry the torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you carry it around just to burn things down?- The Archer's Bows Have Broken
- It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're trying.- Handcuffs
- Do you miss the blend
Of colors she left in your black and white fields?
And do you feel condemned
Just for being there?- Sowing Season (Yeah)
- I used to be such a burning example
I used to be so original
I used to care, I was being cared for
Made sure I showed it to those that I love
I used to sleep without a single stir
Cause I was about my father's work- Millstone
- Well, Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
Because this problem's gonna last more than the weekend
Well, Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die
But I'm a little bit scared of what comes after
Do I get the gold chariot?
Do I float through the ceiling?- Jesus Christ
- Take me, take me, back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
Say "I don't mind you under my skin,"
Oh, let the bad parts in, the bad parts in
When we were made, we were set apart
Life is a test and I get bad marks
Now some Saint got the job of writing down my sins
The storm is coming
The storm is coming in- Degausser
- Hey you beauty supreme; yeah, you were right about me
But can I get myself out from underneath
This guilt that will crush me?
And in the choir, I saw our sad messiah,
He was bored and tired of my laments,
'said I died for you one time but never again.- Limosuine (MS Rebridge)
- So the say
They say in heaven there's no husbands and wives
On the day
That I show up they'll be completely out of their forgiveness supplies
And I can't use the telephone
To tell you that I'm dead and gone
So you won't know- You Won't Know

I'm burning like a bridge for your body- Tautou

I've never felt so hollow
I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews and empty aisles- I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Light
- I hope this song starts a craze.
The kind of song that ignites the airwaves.
The kind of song that makes people glad
to be where they are,
with whoever they're there with
This is war
Every line is about who I don't want to write about anymore
Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for.- "Okay I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don't"
- I lie for only you
And I lie well
Halleluh- The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows
- You are calm and reposed
Let your beauty unfold
Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones
Spring keeps you ever close
You are second hand smoke.
You are so fragile and thin.
Standing trial for your sins.
Holding onto yourself the best you can.
You are the smell before rain.
You are the blood in my veins.- The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

When they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown- Jaws Theme Swimming

- Does anybody remember back when you were very young?
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?- Guernica
- Am I correct to defend the fist that holds this pen?
It's ink that lies
The pen, the prose, the paper
I live, I learn
You will always take what I have earned
And so aid my end while I believe I'm winning- Good to Know That If I Ever Need Attention All I Have To Do is Die
- Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship.
Sends your words past your lips
or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you.
Come off course while you sleep.
Sweep your boat out to sea or dashed to bits on the reef.- Play Crack the Sky
- They say that the captain stays fast with the ship
Through still and storm- Play Crack the Sky
Your Favorite Weapon (2001)
[edit]- Whatever poison's in this bottle will leave me broken sore and stiff.
But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at. He owes me one last wish.
So here's a present to let you know I still exist.
I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips.- Jude Law and a Semester Abroad
- And if you ever said you miss me then don't say you never lied.

It's short just like your temper,

but they don't tell you what to say when your whole life has gone to hell.- Seventy Times 7
- So, is that what you call a getaway?
Tell me what you got away with.
Cause I've seen more spine in jellyfish.
I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids.
Have another drink and drive yourself home.
I hope there's ice on all the roads.
And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,
and again when your head goes through the windshield.- Seventy Times 7
- And is that what you call tact?
You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back.- Seventy Times 7
- And tonight will go on forever while we
walk around this town like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer like we own the heat.- Soco Amaretto Lime
